Habitat for Humanity PURDUE UNIVERSITY Habitat for Humanity National Database Design Review

Habitat for Humanity PURDUE UNIVERSITY Rev. 01 Fall 2004 National Database Team Immanuel Alexander John Horst Anna Kretz Jeff Ross Noah Solomon

Habitat for Humanity PURDUE UNIVERSITY Problem Statement Problems for HFHI –No centralized survey administration and data collection system. Some local affiliates do their own surveying, but data is not shared. –There is no concrete quantitative data, currently, to show the benefits of the Habitat program to the community, both locally and nationally. –Homeowner information and responses must be securely collected, transferred, and analyzed to be in line with Habitat’s organizational mission.

Habitat for Humanity PURDUE UNIVERSITY Methodology Proposed Solution –Having a centralized secure server database for survey information and homeowner responses –Homeowner ID’s will be requested from the server but will be kept in paper records as to ensure the security of the information being recorded. –The web-based program will consist of three main parts: A Survey Generator Homeowner Response Collection\Input Statistical Analysis

Habitat for Humanity PURDUE UNIVERSITY Technical Solution The current program relies on a single centralized database to hold the surveys, responses, and a list of questions and answers. It also relies on a web application to act as the front end to the database. HFHI standards are to use Microsoft products. We have adhered to HFHI standards. We are using ASP.net and MS SQL for this tool.
